The current study aimed to explore the personal meaning of eating difficulties. Eight women with a variety of eating issues were interviewed. These conversations were then analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to construct a framework for understanding the personal world of the interviewees. Three overarching themes identified in participants' accounts of their experiences are reported here: the experience of the eating difficulties as functional; negative effects of having eating difficulties; ambivalence towards the eating difficulties. These themes add to our knowledge of the potential role of personal experiences in the aetiology and maintenance of eating difficulties.
本研究旨在探索进食困难的个人意义。我们采访了 8 名患有各种进食问题的女性。然后，我们使用解释现象学分析来对这些对话进行分析，以构建一个理解受访者个人世界的框架。本文报告了参与者对其经历的描述中确定的三个总体主题：将进食困难视为功能性的体验；进食困难的负面影响；对进食困难的矛盾态度。这些主题增加了我们对个人经历在进食困难的病因和维持中的潜在作用的认识。
